Rapid Recompile for Cyclone IV E? (answered)

I'm working on my thesis project and was hoping to have rapid recompile supported. After obtaining a license file from my university and installing Quartus Standard Edition, the option is still greyed out.

I even tried forcing support in the *.qsf settings file by adding
set_global_assignment name RAPID_RECOMPILE_MODEON
but get the following.

(125060): Assignment "RAPID_RECOMPILE_MODE" is no longer supported -- removing assignment from Quartus Prime Settings File

I tried command shell with
quartus_sh --flow recompile ./project.qpf
, but I recieved the following:

Would anyone happen to know if Cyclone IV E is indeed not supported?
